The planned upgrade is to provide a multi-use shared leisure route connecting Lowtown to Athy in County Kildare, a distance of 46km of off-road, flat, accessible, public space. The trail will pass through the towns of Rathangan, Monasterevin, Vicarstown and Athy.
This top tourist attraction is due to be completed in late 2024 and will not only offer a huge economic boost, positively influencing economic growth opportunities, it will also increase that sense of community, create exciting opportunities for both recreation and ways to experience many of the community's interesting places from new perspectives.
Project updates are provided by Kildare County Council as works to the proposed Barrow Blueway progress.

This project is funded by the Government of Ireland under Project Ireland 2040.
